Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen

Soccer Odds: Bayern Munich -172; Bayer Leverkusen +380
Friday, Sep 15 at 2:30 pm ET
Allianz Arena, München, Germany

It’s a battle of undefeated squads when 3-0 Bayer Leverkusen travels to Munich on Friday. Home team Bayern is a solid choice to get the win. The odds make sense when we think about how Harry Kane has changed the German League’s top squad.

But although Bayern should be the favorite, Leverkusen is playing better soccer. The +380 underdog in this heads to Allianz Arena after a 3-0 win against Gladbach and a massive 5-1 victory over SV Darmstadt. The odds make the dog more than playable.

FC Cologne vs TSG Hoffenheim

Soccer Odds: FC Cologne +124; TSG Hoffenheim +199
Saturday, Sep 16 at 9:30 am ET
RheinEnergieStadion, Köln, Germany

Cologne is the slight chalk to get their first Bundesliga victory of the season because the match happens on Cologne’s pitch.

Not only that, but in the last head-to-head match that happened in April this year, Cologne blasted Hoffenheim 3-1 in a road victory. The home team breaks Hoffenheim’s 2-match winning streak.

RB Leipzig vs FC Augsburg

Soccer Odds: RB Leipzig -1.5 -156; FC Augsburg +1.5 +123
Saturday, Sep 16 at 9:30 am ET
Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, Germany

Augsburg isn’t playing well enough to hang with Leipzig. The road dog in this has lost twice and drawn twice in their last couple of matches. Augsburg is playing so poorly that SpVgg Unterhaching, a Bundesliga 2 squad, dusted Augsburg 2-0 in a DFB Pokal match on August 13.

Leipzig shows a single loss since the season started and it came against scorching Bayer Leverkusen in a 3-2 match. RBL rolls past the handicap line.

SC Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund

Soccer Odds: SC Freiburg +210 vs Borussia Dortmund +116
Saturday, Sep 16 at 9:30 am ET
Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany

On Sep 2, Stuttgart broke a 3-match Freiburg winning streak in impressive fashion, 5-1. So the question is whether Freiburg can bounce back from the loss.

Dortmund has drawn in 2 straight. The draws came against Bochum and Heidenheim, neither of which is as talented as Freiburg. The +210 odds make the home team an overlay.

VfL Wolfsburg vs FC Union Berlin

Soccer Odds: VfL Wolfsburg +125; FC Union Berlin +218
Saturday, Sep 16 at 9:30 am ET
Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg, Germany

Both teams had been winning but in their last both Wolfsburg and Union Berlin lost. Wolfsburg fell 3-1 to Hoffenheim. Union Berlin lost 0-3 to RB Leipzig.

Because both squads played so well before the losses, it’s difficult to back either one to win. In the last head-to-head, these two drew. Another draw is possible.

VfL Bochum vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Soccer Odds: VfL Bochum +193; Eintracht Frankfurt +131
Saturday, Sep 16 at 12:30 pm ET
Vonovia Ruhrstadion, Bochum, Germany

Frankfurt is in slightly better form, but this is a Bochum home game. In addition, Bochum offers a better payout.

So although it’s tough to go against Frankfurt, the odds make the home squad the play. Bochum has drawn in their last two, which is another reason to lean towards the home team.
